Stereological estimates of nuclear volume in normal mucosa and carcinoma in situ of the human urinary bladder.

Abstract

The nuclear volume of the epithelial cells in the human urinary bladder mucosa has been estimated using point sampled intercepts in vertical sections (local vertical windows). The study included 27 specimens: ten from normal bladder mucosa, five from inflamed mucosa, seven from mucosa with flat grade II lesions and five from mucosa with flat grade III… (More)
